The heritage of a culture is the richness of values, beliefs and behaviors which characterize that culture. For Christians, this means looking into the Word and understanding what God has already told us about belonging to Him. We have a heritage—that which is passed on to us as members of the Culture of Christ. We need to understand it, cherish it and live by it.

Racism is still prominent today. Despite the nation’s best efforts to move forward with equality among all men, it still has struggled with these goals. Therefore, as a body separate from the nation and this world, the Christian congregation must also combat such a strife with the love of God. What should the church do (not just the leadership) in response to racism? Is it present in worship today?

It is one thing to understand how people of the Kingdom of God are to interact with the world around them. But what about the world that is far away? What about those we have never met? Do we have responsibility to them as well? And what is that responsibility? Join us for an exploration of our mission to The Rest of the World!

The phrase “right to life” has traditionally been applied to the discussion of abortion–and it should be. But is abortion the only “life” issue we face? Euthanasia, managed health care, and capital punishment are all right life issues. What are our King’s views, and how should we express them?

Few issues have separated people in America like the “equal rights” discussion. The Supreme Court is due to announce a decision on the legality of homosexual marriage. It will not tell us whether homosexual marriage is right, or how Christians should respond to this issue. For that we have to go to God’s word, and then we have to live it. What are out King’s views, and how should we express them?

If “Christian” means something explicitly different than others in the world, how then do we relate to those others? Are we to be “tolerant”, as the world tell us? If we condemn sin, are we “haters” and “bigots”? And what if those “others” are people we know and love?

The “Not Of This World” series addresses Biblical teaching applied to important issues in our time and culture to expose how Christians today should respond to these issues. The first of this series addresses what “Christian” means: What is a Christian? Who is a Christian? How do Christians live? What is important to a Christian? Are there answers to these questions, or is this all a matter of personal belief?
